Bloodborne in multiplayer: the best tips

In addition to tough monster action, Bloodborne also offers various multiplayer options. With these tips, you can tackle multiplayer mode directly.

Bloodborne: Activate multiplayer mode

In order for you to travel between the worlds and take part in a multiplayer game, you first have to get certain items:

If you want to get help in your game, you need 1 insight. You also need the challenge bell.
However, if you want to rush to another game to help the player there, you need 10 insights and the small reverberating bell.
Both the inviting and the traveling player need the appropriate bell.
You get insight through the subject "Knowledge of the Crazy".
Only when you have collected 10 insights will the dealer appear, where you can buy the small reverberating bell. You can also get the dark reverberating bell here.
The challenge bell will be given to you as soon as you see it for the first time. That should be the case at the beginning of the cleric beast fight.
In the hunter's dream, a messenger with the gift awaits you.

If you want to invite another player, move to the area you want to roam together:

Activate the challenge bell here to find a random, mostly foreign player.
If you want to play with a specific person, you can use the PlayStation password function. To do this, open the Options menu from the game and select the "Network" item under "System".
Both players have to set the same region - preferably worldwide - and then enter the same password under "Password search".
If either of you use the challenge bell now, only the other will be found. Foreign players are no longer invited.

If you want to help other players and join their games, the requirements are somewhat higher:

It takes a full 10 insight to activate the dealer who sells the challenge bell to you.
With the bell in your luggage, go to the area you want to play with another player and ring the bell.
You will then be automatically assigned to another game.
If you only want to play with certain people, you can force this in the system settings as described above.
Note that it is imperative that you ring your bell in the area where your teammates are located, otherwise you will not find each other.

Two of the three bells are used to share the challenges of Bloodborne with other players. But you can also make life hell for them:

You infiltrate other games and become the enemy of the players there.
For this you need the dark reverberant bell, which you can buy like the small reverberant bell as soon as you have collected 10 insights.
When other players use the challenge bell, they open their gates not only to allies, but also to malicious attackers like you.
So just use the dark reverberant bell in the area where you want to infiltrate other games. You may then catch an opponent in a boss fight.
When selecting opponents, attention is usually paid to the level. So it should always be about a fight between equally strong opponents.
Also note that if you die during infiltration, it will cost you insight. So don't get too cocky.
